Dugundji spaces and topological groups
It was proved in [HM] that each topological group (G,·,τ) may be embedded into a connected topological group (Ĝ,•,τ̂). In fact, two methods of introducing τ̂ were given. In this note we show relations between them.
We prove that the topology of the additive group of the Banach space c₀ is not induced by weakly almost periodic functions or, what is the same, that this group cannot be represented as a group of isometries of a reflexive Banach space. We show, in contrast, that additive groups of Schwartz locally convex spaces are always representable as groups of isometries on some reflexive Banach space.
